50 From the studies presented in the previous chapter we can conclude that although this form of psychotherapy is not necessarily the most appropriate under certain conditions, it can still be a powerful asset in many cases where other forms of therapy are not very successful. However, the presence of empirical evidence that existential psychotherapy has a fairly high rate of success supports the idea of existential psychotherapy as an independent therapeutic orientation with functionality at least similar to other established therapeutic orientations. The four fundamental concerns that are present in the existential psychotherapy are also the starting points in the therapeutic process, and the main fundamental concern, death, is one of the essential aspects of therapy, mostly because this fundamental concern can be found in every person, regardless of problems or difficulties in everyday life that lead to a person entering psychotherapy. Due to the fact that existential psychotherapy is a humanist therapeutic orientation, other therapeutic orientations regard it with some uncertainty, because there are opinions such as the fact that science would need measurements, accurate data and concrete methods and techniques, while existential psychotherapy has its starting point in philosophy, one of the least accurate forms of science. There are no studies that can demonstrate philosophical phrases, because philosophy is connected to subjectivity, rather than objectivity. As a result, from the viewpoint of scientific validation, existential psychotherapy starts with a great handicap, due to its primary origin. However, there are many studies on existentialism, which show that although this form of psychotherapy is not based on an accurate science, it is very effective in some cases of therapy such as depression, anxiety, various phobias and forms of anguish related to the fundamental concerns of the individual. It is precisely because of these factors that the therapist can better adapt to the needs of their client, because of the strategic integrative psychotherapy perspective, due to the variety of therapeutic approaches available to it. An integrative psychotherapist cannot fully study all other forms of therapy, but can borrow, adapt and use any therapeutic methods and techniques in current therapies. Therefore, with regard to the strategic integrative perspective, all good qualities, methods and techniques from other guidelines can be borrowed, while attempting to remove the flaws and their negative aspects as much as possible. In other words, we can use psychodynamic terminology and knowledge, but without keeping the client in therapy for years. We can use cognitive-behavioural techniques to engage the client with the spirit of activity to motivate him, but we can personalize these techniques to give the client the empathy he needs to make him feel more understandable, accepted and respected as a single and unique individual. There are many such examples of combining different forms of therapy, emphasizing positive parts and giving up the negative aspects of different orientations, yet the strategic integrative orientation cannot be perfect. Due to the influx of information, methods and techniques acquired by a strategic integrative
